It's going to get really good later for a Downwind Paddle on the Goldie I just went at 8:00Am this morning from Bilinga SLSC to North Burleigh Rock the wind was only 8-12 knots from the SSW it was fun got some fun bumps from 19th Ave Palmy to North Burleigh on the SIC f18 cruising at 14.4km/h

There's no surf on the Goldie today it's maybe one foot

Doing another run around 1-2:00PM can't wait the wind is getting stronger by the minute

Did another two Downwind paddles back to back from Bilinga SLSC to North Burleigh rock this arvo how good was it your just flying out there the f16 is such a fun board it's so stable and picks up any bump I haven't paddled that board for bulk 3 years it was covered in dust and spiders. My last run was on the f18 that board just kept gliding and gliding and gliding "Yes Please Mr Wizard" I love that board.

My custom SIC f16 17fter the only one of it's kind in Australia

My favourite board of all time the SIC f18

No surf again today only one foot slop, but a good 15 knot ESE wind hit around 11:00AM so thought I'd take the Bullet for a run I haven't paddled this Bullet since Molokai 2010 it felt good out there with some nice little bumps all the way. I still rate the f18 a much faster board in theses conditions.
